It's been one year since I posted my first Hookup Culture article on WordPress and I couldn't be happier!! Hookup Culture started as a school project for my New Media Concentration. I basically just wanted to create a space to openly talk about all the things we normally talk about with our friends. I never…

We’re Always Changing And It’s Not Always Bad
I've been in this world for 22 years now. That's approximately 1/4 of a lifetime. To some, it may seem like that's nothing - like I've been here for an hour when they've been here for a year. To people my age, it's a lot and time doesn't seem to be slowing down. In my…

First Day Of Work Thoughts
I haven't spoken to these people in like a week...I hope I still work for them. They said be in at 9 right? I think so, let me check my email 100 times before I leave. Shoot I'm an hour early... I have no idea what I'm doing. Okay, I kind of know what I'm…
How Postgrads Feel When Everyone Goes Back To School
For a very small part of this summer, I thought graduating was the best thing that happened to me. I was very wrong. College, without a doubt, was the best four years of my life. I couldn't have asked for anything more from the school I chose. I left with a degree that I felt…

Does Moving Home Mean Moving Backwards?
High school was rough for me. I rebelled against almost everything my parents wanted. I didn't get the grades they liked, didn't join any clubs or sports, had the wrong friends, and did not one thing right. I resented being controlled and watched over all the time - it ate away at me and made…
I Love Being An Intern
For someone who has lived in the same state for 18 years, I don't particularly like being stagnant. I like to consistently meet new people, do new things, and never stop learning. That's why I love being an intern. I had an internship almost every year that I was in college and even if some…
A Rejected Postgrad
It kind of seems like people have been telling my generation our whole lives that the job market sucks. It has been a topic of conversation ever since we were in middle school and didn't even have ability to stare 5 years into our future and think about what we wanted to major in when…
Succeeding In Today’s Schools
I've resisted school ever since I was young. Waking up early only to sit at a desk for hours a day just didn't make sense to me. I never put in my full effort. Not in middle school, not in high school, and not in college. I paid attention as little as I needed to…
Proud To Be A Sorority Girl
I'm often told that I don't look like someone who would be in a sorority. This could be because I still listen to Mayday Parade and other emo bands from 7th grade. It could be because I don't always want to go out every day of the weekend. Maybe it's because I usually look like…
The Need For Something New
When it rains, it pours, and when we feel too single and life feels too unstable, people like me only know one way to fix it. The only way to fix it is to change everything. Pack your bags and head for the open road. When things start to go downhill, it's easy to forget all of what…
